No doubt you've heard the phrase, "for such a time as this." Did you know that's just the last six words of a much longer Bible verse? The account of Esther has been glamorized. The truth is a much grittier account, fraught with evil and less-than-ideal circumstances. Today we start our series that takes a deep dive into the book of Esther.
